Benefits of technology

"The invention is a method and system for detecting and characterizing pulsed threat radar emitters through heavy in-band interference. It uses a novel processing method called instantaneous frequency measurement dominant mode prediction (IFM-DMP) which combines elements from spatial and temporal interference cancellation, super-resolution direction-finding, and high resolution spectrum analysis techniques. The method can be retrofitted into existing IFM receiver architectures and is transparent to the existing system. It provides greater sensitivity, accuracy, and robustness than prior art methods and can detect and measure threat pulses in heavy interference environments. The invention also provides a single-channel and two-channel configuration for different applications. Overall, the invention increases sensitivity, accuracy, and interference look-through capability in the existing system without affecting its functioning or operators."

Problems solved by technology

In particular, IFM-DMP continues to detect SOI pulses and generate accurate PDWs in heavy interference environments that cause catastrophic failure of existing methods.

Abstract

A method and system is provided for detecting and characterizing pulsed threat radar emitters through heavy in-band interference. System includes an advanced digital signal processing method provides spatial and temporal interference cancellation, super-resolution direction-finding, and high resolution spectrum analysis techniques. The system receives the digitized output of a discriminator bank and produces highly accurate threat pulse radio frequency estimates. The invention further provides a two-channel configuration for a DF subsystem, to perform adjacent-beam direction-finding through severe interference environments. The invention provides increased sensitivity, increased frequency accuracy, and up to 40 dB of increased interference look-through capability in ES system but remains transparent to ES system functioning and to ES system operators.
